WTF

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:40 (eighteen years ago)

Not loading. You killed it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:47 (eighteen years ago)

works fine for me...

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 February 2007 00:51 (eighteen years ago)

Couldn't see it. Which is a terrible shame, as that's a hell of a premise.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:09 (eighteen years ago)

And now I can.

Those accents are...incredible. This is a Protestant place.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:10 (eighteen years ago)

SEAN O'REILLY!

STUART COOPER!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:11 (eighteen years ago)

There's a protestant name if ever I heard one.

This is batshit.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:14 (eighteen years ago)

I mean seriously, no amount of anyone saying "this is nuts" could possibly convey just how nuts it is.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:15 (eighteen years ago)

I know! Can you imagine them writing this or what they thought afterwards.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:19 (eighteen years ago)

I really can't. How this got made is beyond the scope of my comprehension "No matter where the bomb goes off, both sides will lose!" "I'll take that chance" "Me too"

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:24 (eighteen years ago)

I am, of course, focussing too much on how utterly odd it is to watch, and nowhere near enough on WAIT A MINUTE, SOMEONE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR CAPTAIN PLANET TO TOUCH UPON "THE TROUBLES". Which was wrong of me. I look forward to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors take on the Darfur conflict.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:27 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, watched it now. Good lord. Though all the edits make it even loopier.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:30 (eighteen years ago)

Guys, according to one of the commenters, the whole episode must have been insane:

The full episode has 6 people, 2 from Belfast, 2 from South Africa and 2 from Israel

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:31 (eighteen years ago)

i want me lucky charms

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

captain planet was the embodiment of every strawman complaint about "political correctness"

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:36 (eighteen years ago)

worst superhero ever

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:37 (eighteen years ago)

"Wait, you beat each other up over your names?"
"Tis as good a reason as any!"

WTF. HAhahaha. Sectarian troubles and 80s nuke paranoia all in one big bundle. I'd forgotten how weird the 80s were.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:46 (eighteen years ago)

early 90's actually.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:50 (eighteen years ago)

'cuz the show debuted in 90 or 91 iirc (i tend to remember the most useless facts)

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:52 (eighteen years ago)

Really? Yow.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 9 February 2007 01:55 (eighteen years ago)

I'M DEEP IN PROTESTANT TERRITORY!

― stet (stet), Friday, 9 February 2007 02:16 (eighteen years ago)

"SEAN IS IT? YOU'D WANT TO BE SAYIN A LOYALIST NAME...LIKE JOHN AROUND HERE!"

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 9 February 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

I could have sworn he said 'Jock' there.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 9 February 2007 10:08 (eighteen years ago)

maybe I was projecting.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 9 February 2007 10:09 (eighteen years ago)

I'd like to think this played a significant part in the peace process.

― Sir Tehrance HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 9 February 2007 10:31 (eighteen years ago)

What I have learnt from this: perpatrators of sectarian violence talk with Jamaican acents.

Thank you Captain Planet! I've just had to watch that kneeling beside my computer laughing like a fool.

"looks like we have a cat'lic!" Fucking brilliant. Cheers Ronan

"Where is everyone?"

"Shut up, shut up"

"Leave him be! The bomb's over there. In the basement"

"Our squabbles feel petty now"

"You can't be forgving me until I fogive you."
"The divil you say"

"Partners in the bakery." - Ian Paisley Jr would be pissed!

"The important thing is that you forgive."

"6 people have forgiven but millions still remain!"

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

― kv_nol, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 13:03 (eighteen years ago)

mm, ok i read this as Captain Planet Saves Breakfast and was completely confused by thread posts.

― Ste, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 13:06 (eighteen years ago)

Would that be a catholic or protestant breakfast?

― kv_nol, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 13:07 (eighteen years ago)

Why didn't the writers get the Nobel Prize?

this captain planet episode was actually the last thing alan clarke directed before he died u_u

― apichathong song (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 05:30 (fourteen years ago)

this thread is really making me consider springing for a captain planet box set if such a thing exists

― apichathong song (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 05:33 (fourteen years ago)

the soundtrack from the gang violence clip sounds like outtakes from ornette's naked lunch score
